Chelsea fans appeal for Thorgan Hazard to return to Stamford Bridge as he continues his excellent form

Since Pedro suffered an injury earlier in the season which hampered his early season form, Chelsea’s right-wing position has become an issue.

Willian has not looked convincing amid rumours of an exit and Pedro has failed to recapture his early season form.

As a result, opponents are able to direct more attention towards stopping Eden Hazard as they know they’re unlikely to be hurt by Willian or Pedro.

This is what happened during Chelsea’s 3-1 loss to Spurs on Saturday night.

Therefore, in January, Maurizio Sarri needs to address this right-wing position if he wants to continue to have success.

And he should consider bringing back Thorgan Hazard to London after his electric start to the season.

Hazard scored and assisted a goal yesterday evening for Borussia Monchengladbach against Hannover in their 4-1 win.

That means the Belgian now has 11 goals and six assists in all competitions to start the season.

Because he’s a former Chelsea player, there is always the possibility that he could return to Stamford Bridge – much like Thibaut Courtois.

So, here’s how Chelsea fans reacted to Hazard’s goal and assist yesterday evening:
